Fucking fuming.
There's no way on Earth that I will get one through the club and out of curiosity, i looked on the web for tickets to the Charity Shield to see how many were in the hands of touts... Sorry, I meant "ticket agencies". even more fuming to see that you can get shedloads of tickets for both areas of the ground, but more from the City side than ours... Also, their tickets are pretty much double face value, but ours were 6 times more expensive, even for the cheapest ones?!
This has been going on for decades, but there is no excuse at all for it to be the way of things nowadays. Fucking disgusting. Hope they don't sell them and the place is empty apart from the allocation given to us. City have no chance of selling their allocation so vast open spaces are guaranteed. What an absolute farce the FA are. Still appalls me after all these years that so many tickets get in the hands of these places and still nothing is done.
Was desperate to take my youngest lad - was up early for the members ticket sales for the season and they went before the queue was even 10mins old. Gutted. What the fuck do you have to do to get to watch your own team anymore? Miss the days of queing outside the Kop to pay and get in.
